Outdoor fair/craft show

This past weekend my sister, a friend of mine, and I all 3 decided to enter a local outdoor fair and craft show. This was my first of this type of show. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I am glad we all went in on it together.

Here is a photo of our booth. Since it was 3 of us, we had a little bit of everything. Some jewelry, some things sewn, and lots of wood creations.

This little stand was created from 2 side rails from a crib. I attached hinges at the top and chains to connect the 2 near the bottom so it wouldn't go too wide. It worked great to holdall of these signs. I just tied them on with twine.

I have to say, I met a lot of great people and 2 very special vendors I will definitely keep in touch with.

I do believe that this will be my last outdoor show. I find people who come to a fair are there just to mostly browse versus those who come to a craft show looking for Christmas gifts. I didn't do horrible at this show, just not as good as other opportunities.

If you have had a different experience, I would love to hear about it.
